Product Description
Milwaukee 1-1/2 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit
Model Number: 48-17-1015
The Milwaukee 48-17-1015 is a 1-1/2 in. Pre-Stressed Concrete Wet Diamond Core Bit — engineered for drilling through pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete in parking structures, bridges, and other high-strength elevated structural systems where standard and premium core bits experience accelerated segment wear. The 1-1/2 in. diameter serves 1-1/4 in. conduit sleeve installations, specific plumbing fittings and pipe systems in pre-stressed elevated concrete, and mechanical equipment connections through parking structure decks where this bore size is specified for the hardware being installed. Milwaukee's specialized pre-stressed concrete segment bond maintains cutting effectiveness in the high concrete hardness conditions of pre-stressed structural systems, providing extended segment life relative to premium standard-grade bits used in the same material.
Wet cutting with continuous water is essential — pre-stressed concrete's extreme hardness generates significant cutting interface heat that requires constant cooling to prevent rapid segment glazing. Water simultaneously cools segments, flushes slurry, and provides OSHA crystalline silica dust suppression throughout the drilling operation. The pre-stressed concrete bit specification is most important in parking structure and bridge construction where the pre-stressed slab and beam system is encountered consistently throughout the penetration drilling scope, making the per-bit cost difference between standard and pre-stressed specification quickly recovered in reduced bit consumption and drilling downtime on large projects. Available in multiple diameters for complete pre-stressed project coverage.
For standard cured concrete applications, Milwaukee's Diamond Premium Wet Core Bit lineup provides maximum performance at better value — see Milwaukee's complete core bit range for all specifications and sizes.
